      It’s a BBC article posted about Australia posted in worldnews, you don’t need to bring America up. Bring on the downvotes, losers.

        There’s some context here you might be missing.

        The hero points the shotgun at the murderer but it appears he either didn’t know how to use it or wasn’t prepared to shoot someone.

        There’s a third option that would be lost on Americans but obvious to everyone else: seeing that the attacker was no longer an imminent threat, the guy chose not to execute him.

        The comment I replied to has a very American perspective, and its obvious to everyone who is not American.

          Wow what a uniquely American idea, only Americans believe in capital punishment and execution.

          You are truly a critical thinker, and your biases against a non-monolithic grouping are not delusional at all.

              Ah man only an Australian would brutally genocide a bunch of indigenous people and then lose a war to giant birds.

              Hey man, at least my direct ancestors aren’t convicted rapists.

              Do you really want to get into a country pissing contest? Because guess what, dipshit, you live in Australia. You’ve been a joke your entire existence. Your state is an upside down island that no one gives a fuck about.

              Struck a nerve? Yeah dude. You did. It’s still xenophobic. You’re still a xenophobe. Punching at Americans isn’t punching up- in case you forgot, a huge percentage of us live in poverty and are being held hostage by an authoritarian government that any moment might start killing us for not being a white cishet person (I say as if people aren’t literally disappearing as we speak)

              Anyway, go fuck yourself and die, bitch.

              Here in not-america we generally don’t kill people who are not an imminent threat, like someone who has been disarmed.

              ?
